2) The marking 10/560 in the northward direction until the mountain pasture of Roen and over the trail (marking 500) to the Roen. The way back to the Passo della Mendola or descend through the „Tauris“ (marking 10A) direct to Tramin.

Piz Boé, in the Sella Group, stands at 3,152 meters and is one of the most accessible peaks over 3,000 meters, making it a popular destination for hikers. However, it's important to note that the ascent from Corvara and the return to Passo Gardena, as outlined in this route, are quite demanding. While climbing equipment isn't required, sure-footedness and mountain experience are essential for tackling this hike. The route primarily traverses rocky terrain, with sections of scree and an equipped trail. As you ascend, the landscape changes, offering breathtaking views of some of the most iconic Dolomite peaks, including the Marmolada, Civetta, Catinaccio, and Sassolungo. At the summit, you'll find the small Capanna Piz Fassa hut, where you can spend the night. However, the true reward is the stunning panorama that only an altitude of over 3,000 meters can provide. The descent involves crossing part of the massif before reaching Gardena Pass.
